MS got a shit ton of moneu so they should just waste it? No it can not easily generate a return on the investment. It will have to sell at the same rate as it is now to break even in 17-20 years, and if we add extra sales from PS4/Xbox One, and asuming that it doesn't decrease for anything else for the next decade and a half, then they'll make their money back in "just" ~12-15 years.

did i say that?

ur the only one here, who think its a waste

 

 

and 10 years to get 100% of the invested money back is a very good (short) timeframe.

what do u think how long it will take facebook to get the 16billion form whatsapp back?

 

thats not how it works. its not only about getting ur spend money back...

and its not about getting ur money back with only that part u invested in.

what im talking about is called synergy effects (and yes even minecraft will have that. all servers running on azzure and ms cloud, more appeal for surface and wp etc..)


No, I'm not the only one who thinks it's a waste, there are plenty others who agree with me.

 

And it will take 12 years if it sells at it's current pace+PS4/XBO boost, for the next 12 years, but it won't last that long. Even Minecraft doesn't have the legs to sell another 120 million copies.
